[Dovecot] shared folders general question
by Johan Hendriks 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello all. Thanks to the patience off Timo i finally got my shared folders working. I have one more question. Is it possible if you share the inbox, that all subfolders will be visable to. I can not see the subfolders of the shared inbox. This is not very useful if the user which shares his inbox, has sieve rules active that stores e-mail directly into subfolders. Thanks regards, Johan

[Dovecot] 2.0.5 Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server.
by Veiko Kukk 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello, Upgraded from 1.2.x to 2.0.5, converted configuration as described in http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0 and now I'm unable to log in to imap server. Dovecot error.log shows: Oct 21 09:52:48 imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=13338, input bytes=0 Oct 21 09:52:48 imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=13364, input bytes=0 Oct 21 09:52:48 imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=13337, input bytes=0 Oct 21 09:52:48 imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=13350, input bytes=0 Oct 21 09:52:48 imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=13335, input bytes=0 Oct 21 09:52:48 imap-login: Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=13360, input bytes=0 I'm using pam with winbind for authentication. /etc/pam.d/dovecot contains: auth required pam_winbind.so account sufficient pam_winbind.so And it used to work perfectly with 1.1 and 1.2 series of dovecot. What could be the problem with 2.0.5? -- Veiko

[Dovecot] Manual login to SSL-protected port?
by Ron Leach 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

List, good afternoon, Dovecot and mail clients work fine. Several recent postings mention trying telnet to check this or that and, since I was considering using a spreadsheet plug-in to analyse some mail statistics by directly connecting to the server, I thought I'd try to test what the command sequence was that I might be able to use, and what message data was available (headers etc). We use only SSL-protected ports. Is it possible to manually login to dovecot when dovecot uses SSL-protected imap ports? I've tried telnet and the telnet localhost 993 login user pass resulted in connection closure, as I (think I) would expect because telnet doesn't use SSL (does it?). I checked man telnet and it described authentication options but when I tried telnet localhost 993 auth enable ? to check what auth protocols it allows, the connection closed. I tried SSH but it just 'hung' - presumably SSH expects an SSH server at the other end, not dovecot. Is it possible to manually login to a dovecot SSL imap port? regards, Ron

[Dovecot] Public Folders for spam/nospam -> don't get it
by Denny Schierz 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

hi, Dovecot: 2.0.5 I want to use public folders (maildir), for my spam mails to feed spamassassin, but I don't get it working. My Evolution 2.28.3 (nothing else tested) can't subscribe the folders: namespace { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = prefix = INBOX/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } namespace { hidden = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/home/vmail/public:LAYOUT=fs prefix = public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } angelica:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# ls -l /home/vmail/public/ total 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 11 Oct 23 14:14 dovecot-acl -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 45 Oct 23 13:56 dovecot-acl-list -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 48 Oct 24 19:22 dovecot.mailbox.log drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 23 14:03 nospam drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Oct 23 14:03 spam -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 12 Oct 24 19:22 subscriptions # cat /home/vmail/public/dovecot-acl anyone lrp, also in subfolders spam/nospam I tested several configurations, but nothing works. Sometimes I can see the folders, but can't subscribe them (invalid/unknown namespace), sometime I don't see the folders ... does anyone has an answer for me ? cu denny

[Dovecot] Maildir filename extensions S=<size> and W=<vsize>
by Ralf Hildebrandt 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I'd like to add S=<size> and W=<vsize> to the filenames in my Maildir storage for newly delivered mails. But I cannot find where I can make Dovecot's LDA add those. Anybody? http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir says: A maildir filename with those fields would look something like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S which is exactly what I want, but it doesn't tell me how! -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de

[Dovecot] fallocate and glibc 2.10
by Paul Howarth 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

In glibc 2.10 (32 bit) fallocate() exists but fallocate64() doesn't. When _FILE_OFFSET_BITS==64, fallocate() is a redirect to fallocate64() and the program can't be linked (fails to find symbol fallocate64). See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/500487 Attached patch detects fallocate() more robustly to guard against this problem. Cheers, Paul.

[Dovecot] "Maintenance instance"
by Ralf Hildebrandt 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Does any of you have a "Maintenance instance" of dovecot? Something that will accept any user/pass combination (and thus doesn't make MUAs fail in utter unforeseen ways), and gives any user logging in a canned mail (e.g. "We're doing maintenance, go away") -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt(a)charite.de | http://www.charite.de
